Well mike it's more of a robotic Tiger/monkey. Mission to Mars was a movie that showed the creature on the right. The creature on the left is CG of a plan to build a real one.

Ofcourse movies made this a violent creature.... 



This is the type of recon machine that I see being a real multi-tasker.
Something like this being prelaunched to gather intel on another world is more productive then sending something with wheels that moves 15 mph. I also see other potentials for this design that far exceed what we seen of it in the movies.

The fore-ground of this project is in Boston:

Definitely not an AMEE but it walks on ice better then we do and it is a start.
